Here we are with chapter 14th, and I hope everyone is ready here. I appreciate the support and review guys. Also, glad to be working on this again. Been busy getting my other chapters done as much as I can.

Also, to bring this up this is set during the Trigon arc. It will be somewhat the same from the arc, but there will be a lot of changes. Since I am including Soul Reapers from the anime series Bleach. Along with some surprises as well as the story progresses.

How will things go for our Titans when Trigon tries to get freed? Will their new friends help save Raven? Will they stop Slade from helping his master? And what will happen when the Titans confront their friends about what happened last time?

Read on to find out and also thanks to my friend General Herbison for his help on my crossovers. We hope you all like them and the new version for this second version. Anyways, let's go with the disclaimer first. I don't own anything from the DC, Bleach, and Star Wars universe.

Just my OCs, except for the OCs from the general. Enjoy the chapter everyone!

Chapter XIV

Paris, France

It is daytime in Europe as the people of Paris went about their day like it was any other. They went to work, are out with their loved ones, and are escorting tourist around. A woman with long black hair, green eyes, and fair skin is seen in the balcony of her hotel room. She is seen wearing a white bikini with a white long dress, sunglasses, and straw hat.

She is seen reading a book on a lawn chair. All while taking a sip of her whine that is next to her. Suddenly the sun is blocked, and she looks up to see who it is. An older looking man with a hood covering his face smiling down at her.

"Reading the same book, I got you since you were little? You've must have read the darn thing 500 times," said the older man as he grabs a chair and sits down next to the woman. "Also, nice look. You are going through a phase?"

"699 times to be exact, grandpa," the woman replied to her grandfather who removes his hood to reveal to be Ronin, which made her Hanako. "Secondly, I am trying this look because in a few minutes a group of kidnappers will try to kidnap me because they think I'm the rich girl who came here all alone to visit some friends."

"And where is she right now?" Ronin asked his granddaughter who points to back in the room.

"I knocked her out and have her sleeping in the closet. Don't worry, she'll be fine and won't have any memories of what happened," Hanako took a sip of her drink before she goes back to reading her book. "Beside the part where I called her parents and are on their way over to take her home. I believe they told me they plan to ground her for life."

Ronin began chuckling softly. "Well, that's what happens when you don't keep an eye on your kids. Still, for life? A bit harsh, isn't it?"

"She's lucky she isn't my kid. I would have punished her till the end of days," Hanko stops reading and then let's out a small sigh. "Which judging from what Hikari told me earlier might be happening soon."

"Oh? So, she told you already," said Ronin as he looks out at the city. "Isamu told me too. Turns out the others found out too and are not happy. But then again, I can't blame them. Being lied to is one thing, but not being told that their friend will bring about the end of the world is something else."

Hanako couldn't agree more. "Word is from Head Captain Shunsui Kyōraku that some of the Soul Reapers want to kill Raven. Some of the captains though think locking her up here till it's over."

"What do you believe?" Ronin asked as he turns to his granddaughter.

Hanako removes her sunglasses and turns to her grandpa. "Despite having this conversation before…I think killing her is out of the question. But then again, I am not a captain and we have our orders. So, what do you think?"

Ronin moves his hand over to the wine, which his granddaughter let him have. He took it and looked down at the drink. "Taking the life of someone who never asked for this burden is something I am against. She never asked to be the portal and be destined to end this world. I believe if given the choice she would give it all up and just be a normal girl. Something I wish our students could have since we know that's what their parents wanted."

Hanako didn't say anything and simply looked down at her book. What those kids went through is something no other child should ever experience. She wanted them to have a normal childhood and not worry so much on what happened. Instead, they made their choice just like she did all those year ago.

She hears a beeping noise and looks at her watch to see her 'guests' are coming. "Showtime, I better take care of this."

Ronin took a long sip of the wine finishing it before setting the glass down. "And so, I shall leave you to your work. I will go to the Soul Society to speak with the old man. See if I can smooth things over."

"And tell him if everyone has a problem with it…" she puts her sunglasses down and has a serious look in her eyes. "Then they can deal with me," she replied with a cold response.

Ronin simply chuckled and nods. "No problem and oh Hanako…don't kill the humans."

In that instant her grandfather disappeared and Hanako simply smiled. She puts her book down and turns to the door. "700 times," she said before she sees the door opening and five masked men coming into the room. "Bonjour les garçons, à la recherche de quelque chose?"

The men took out their guns and aimed them at the woman. Shouting in French to put her hands up. Hanako simply smiled as a red aura began emerging around her body. The dye from her hair began to burn off along with her contacts as her regular color came back.

"No? Good," she replied before the door closed behind the men and all that can be heard from outside the room is the screams of all five men echoing down the hallway.

Jump City

Raven returned with the others where she took care of Isamu's injuries. Once they returned Isamu and his sister, Hikari both explained everything to the others. They felt they should tell them first who they are before Raven explains everything about what is going on. It didn't go well by the end of it since the others felt upset that they were lied to about their friends.

However, Raven defended the siblings since she owed Isamu. Not just for saving her life, but the lives of her friends and the citizens of the city. Every day and night Isamu would go out to fight the Hollows and keep them from harming anyone. Yes, he did lie, but for good reason.

Robin was upset that Raven didn't tell them about this and for Isamu's lie. However, he was even more upset when Isamu tried to kill Slade. Something Raven didn't protest to since she knew the truth about him. She calmed Robin down before it was her turn to explain everything.

She didn't want to. She really didn't since she was worried how her friends would react. However, she knew she didn't have much of a choice. Not after tonight.

Her friends needed to know the truth. They needed to know what is going on. If Slade comes back, they need to know to be ready. Maybe then, she will feel better not keeping this from them.

"The ancient order used the name Scath to protect the true identity of their master," Raven began explaining. "We know him as Trigon."

Cyborg's expression turns to one of shock when he recognized the name. "Are you serious? That's what we're up against? Oh man."

Starfire was in shocked as well, especially from the stories her people used to have about him bac home. "His cruelty is legendary, even on my world."

"So, what makes you go all glowy in the dark?" Beast Boy asked wondering what the connection with Raven and the marks on her body.

"It's a warning," Raven explained as she looks down at her arms where the marks were at. "It means Trigon is coming. And the way he gets here is through me. I'm not just a person. I'm a portal."

Robin sits down next to his friend understanding now why she kept it a secret for so long. "But, Raven, why you?"

Raven took a deep breath before she tells them the truth. However, before she could reply, Hikari did it for her.

"She's Trigon's daughter," said Hikari before being elbowed by her brother. "First of all, ow. Secondly, I thought it would make it easier for her not to say it."

For the others this was shocking, especially when Raven didn't deny it. Confirming what Hikari said is true. Their friend and teammate is the daughter of the practically the devil himself. This was something they didn't expect.

"It's true. I am his daughter and he's my father," Raven admits even though she wishes none of it was true.

Robin stands up and turns towards Isamu. "You knew this, and you didn't tell us. I assume you had your reason?"

Isamu nods in response before turning to Raven. "She told me not to say anything. Wanting to wait for her to tell you all herself. Still, I apologize for lying to you and your friends. Didn't mean to lie, but I was following my orders."

"Orders from who?" Beast Boy asked.

"The Soul Society," Hikari answered.

Robin's expression changed with his eyes widening a little. Isamu noticed this and seems surprised himself.

"You've heard of it?" he asked towards Robin.

The others turn to the Boy Wonder who lets out a small sigh. "Batman told me about it," he replied causing some of the others to look surprised. "He told me before he met someone who is from the Soul Society. A place where the souls of the dead go to live in the afterlife. I didn't believe it much though since it didn't sound real."

Isamu should have known that Batman was aware of this, especially since his master has been gaining an alliance with the heroes of this world. So, he decided to explain to the others what the Soul Society is and what the Soul Reapers are. At least, to sum it up so they can continue where they left off.

"Still, it doesn't give you the right to try killing someone," said Robin who still didn't approve of what Isamu tried to do.

"Too bad for you we don't follow your rules," said Hikari who leans against the sofa before her tone and expression changed. "Like with the Hollows we can't hold back when we fight them or when we have to put them down. They aren't human anymore and they will not hesitate to kill more humans in order to feed their never-ending hunger. I know for you heroes you follow a code to never kill, something my brother and I respect. However, we aren't superheroes like you guys and we do what we must in order to prevent more lives to be lost."

"Even if it means killing the bad guy?" Cyborg asked who didn't seem to approve the methods of the siblings.

Isamu steps forward and tries to explain what his sister meant. "As a last resort, yes. Still, it doesn't mean we won't try knocking them out or forcing them to submit. We aren't killers, but we're not heroes either. We just do what we have to do to protect everyone, even from someone who isn't alive like Slade."

"Not alive? What do you mean?" Starfire asked confused by what her friend meant.

Isamu turns to Hikari who decides to reply for her brother. "We Soul Reapers have the ability to sense the energy of a soul. That's how we've been able to detect Hollows arriving to the city and even find you guys no matter where you are. Hollows have a similar ability, which allows them to go after humans who have strong spiritual energy. Out of the five of you in this tower, Raven has the strongest."

"Whoa, so who is the second strongest? Is it mine?" Beast Boy asked before getting elbowed by Cyborg.

"Actually, to my surprise Cyborg has the second strongest," said Hikari as she turns to Cyborg. "Despite having half a human body your spiritual energy is very strong. I'm actually impressed."

"O-oh? Really?" Cyborg asked as he began smiling a little. "Well um thanks."

Hikari smiles back a little before turning to the others. "Starfire is the third strongest and if I had to say it yours might be the purest soul," she replied with Starfire giggling happily. "Robin is fourth, which is surprising considering all you've been through. While Beast Boy sorry to say but you are the least strongest of the group."

Beast Boy's expression changed to one of sadness. "I'm n-not that strong?"

Hikari felt bad for making him sad and tries to cheer him up. "H-hey don't get sad. You are still strong. Believe me with a little bit of training you could become the strongest."

This cheered Beast Boy up as he grew a big smile. "Oh sweet. Maybe with some training I could get as strong as you two?"

Isamu cleared his throat as he tries to move the conversation along, so he won't hurt his friends' feelings. "Anyways, with Slade though we couldn't sense anything from him. Sure, we felt a great power within him, but it felt inhuman. Even if he was alive and made a deal with the devil himself, we should have sensed his soul inside of him being corrupted. However, we felt nothing which leads us to believe that…"

"Slade is dead," said Robin concluding what Isamu was going with this. "But if that's true, how is he here then?"

Beast Boy lets out a loud shriek. "He's a zombie!"

Raven slaps Beast Boy across the back of his head. "He's not a zombie. But if he is working for my father then…" she then narrowed her eyes and realized how this happened. "Terra."

The Titans all stood silently when Raven brought up their friend. Terra, who was once a Titan until she betrayed them to Slade. In the end though she came back to the light and saved their city. How to this day she was still frozen as a rock and despite their best attempts they couldn't free her.

"What does this Terra girl have to do with Slade?" Hikari asked confused on what is going on.

"Terra…she killed Slade," said Beast Boy recalling the fight between Terra and Slade while they fought under the city.

"We thought he survived before the lava appeared, but if he's really dead then that means…" Cyborg soon realized that Raven was right about what she said. "He really did make a deal with the devil to come back to life."

"Not come back to life, but it explains why all of your attacks didn't hurt him," said Isamu as he figured as much about what is going on. "While in this undead form he cannot be put down so easily. He doesn't feel pain, doesn't need to breath, and can't get injured. He'll keep coming and coming until you are put down. Now I see why he has the nickname 'the Terminator'."

Hikari nods in agreement. "Still, our attacks can still hurt him though. That might be good for us if we come across him again, but…"

Isamu sighed as he turns to Robin. "I have no doubt Trigon will be told about what happened, which means he'll be ready for us."

"What do you mean? He knows about the Soul Reapers?" Starfire asked as she gets a nod from the siblings. "And the Soul Reapers know about him then?"

Hikari nods in response. "That's why Isamu was send here to protect Raven. The Soul Society has been aware of Trigon's arrival for a long time and they know if he gets out it will be the end of everything."

"Literally the end of both our worlds," said Isamu reminding the others that the Soul Society exits in another plane of existence. "That's why we need to find Slade soon and stop him. While also figuring out a way to protect Raven."

Cyborg nods in agreement as he turns to Raven. "That just leaves one question. How do we stop Trigon?"

"We don't," Raven replied knowing full well no one can stop her father.

"That doesn't mean we still can't try," said Beast Boy confident they can win, but Raven knew the truth.

"No, she isn't wrong," said Hikari who knew Raven is right. "Trigon is too powerful. He isn't a villain who wants to take over the city, that wants money, or have slaves. He wants to wipe out all life of this world. We're not even sure if any of the captains of the Soul Society can even take him down."

"We get it he's bad and powerful," said Robin who got the idea of what Hikari is saying. "But that doesn't mean we'll let him win. We'll stop him no matter what."

Isamu nods in response knowing Robin is right. "He's right. But even so we should still try to prevent him from coming to our world. That is our priority. Without Raven they won't be able to win."

Starfire nods in response. "Yes, we will keep Raven safe and make sure no one tries to harm her."

Isamu walks over to stand next to Raven. "I promise you we won't let Slade get to you or hurt your friends. We'll beat him and if Trigon tries to get involved, we'll kick his ass too."

Raven looks up to Isamu and smiles a little with him trying to cheer him up. Raven could feel his confidence and turns to the others who also seem confident as well. She wishes she could believe it. No, she really wanted to believe it and that they can beat Trigon.

Yet, there is a part of her that is unsure at all. She has seen what Trigon did to her home and to her people. She destroyed them all. Her home, her people, and her mother.

She wanted to believe that with the help of her friends they can make a difference. That they can beat Trigon, but…but she isn't sure if they can. If the Soul Reapers fear what Trigon can do and how much of a threat, she is then maybe they should do something about it. Does she want her life to be taken?

No, she just…she isn't sure what she wants. She wants to help save her friends and keep them safe. But if things go bad and Trigon tries to harm her friends then…

Her attention suddenly turns to the window where she sees the sun rising. She takes a deep breath and turns to the others who are now discussing what they are going to do. I hope for the sake of our world we can beat him. Otherwise, the world will fall like Azarath.

Meanwhile

Slade appeared in the cave where he has been staying. He approached the center of the cave and kneels down to give his progress report. He explains to Trigon what happened. How the Teen Titans are now aware what Raven is. How she has accepted what she will be destined to do and how she can't run from this.

"The prophecy has been revealed. The portal has accepted her fate."

"You served me well, Slade. Continue to please me and I shall honor our deal," said Trigon speaking to his servant against the walls while fire appears around Slade. "I shall return what you have lost."

Slade's forehead begins to glow. "I am depending on it…there is something else," he explains how earlier he encountered a boy wearing a black kimono and had a katana sword.

He explained the boy could sense his presence and was strong. Very strong. His weapon also was able to hurt him. Something he didn't expect would happen since he thought nothing can harm him since he wasn't alive.

"How is it possible? How could he have hurt me despite being well undead?" Slade asked wondering what Trigon knows.

Trigon listened to what Slade described to him and began to growl in anger. "The Soul Reapers."

The name rang a bell as Slade looks up at his master. "I thought they were just a myth. A group of ghost hunting spirits from Japan, which I thought was made up."

"No, they are very real and if they are aware, I am returning…" Trigon soon began to laugh, which echoed across the cave. "Then we will need to make sure they don't get involved any further."

"What would you like me to do?" Slade asked wondering what he can do on his part.

"For now, nothing," Trigon replied knowing he can't risk losing his human servant since he still has uses for him. "I will soon send you some allies to help you deal with the Soul Reaper. And then afterwards we will take care of the rest of them."

Slade nods his head. "As you wish."

Looks like the truth came out and yeah, the Titans are not happy with their friends lying. Can't blame them, but Raven did what she needed to do. In order to protect her friends from finding out what she is. While also keeping the truth about Isamu from them too.

Still, it looks like the Titans have some backup now. But it also looks like Trigon is aware of the Soul Reapers and they are aware of him. Will that stop our heroes from finding a way to keep Trigon from coming? Or will Trigon find a way to get rid of any obstacles that can get in his way of being freed?
